[Dxspider-support] IP of spotter needed

[Dirk Koopman]

Yes, it would be nice.

For all those people that wish to mind other people's business.

There was far, *far* too much of that here in the UK all those (10) 
years ago when I started to write this stuff and, can I say, one of the 
specific design considerations was to control precisely whom could see 
the logs.

So no. Sorry. It ain't going to happen. If someone wants to enable it 
and is prepared to maintain a show/log command locally, it would be very 
easy to do.

Equally, it would be easy for me to add a flag to override the default 
restrictions. However, it would *always* default to off and, experience 
shows, not many people would enable this (or indeed anything else 
optional).

There are also a number of security/privacy concerns which rear their 
heads when this sort of info is made generally available.

If someone has a genuine problem they can shout on here and we will help 
(if we can) but even with a general access sh/log  command it would not 
have helped in this case.
